SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES

Cascade Lyrics

Oh, the air was shining,
Shining like a wedding ring
Barbed like sex
I felt 10,000 volts
My chest was full of eels
Pushing through my usual skin
I opened up new wounds
Pouting, shouting
Oh love - like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh love-lorn victims laughing
Laughing in cascades
The sun was rich
Rich with a song of sin
My breath melted my words
Into strange alphabets
Tormenting my tongue
Pouting, shouting
The heartbeats were echoing
Echoing the revolver
Emptying into my mouth
I pulled a face from my pocket
And smiled a leper's grin
I felt somebody close
Pouting, shouting
